Acute Elderly Care Expert Witnesses

Acute elderly care is the assessment and care of older people with urgent or acute health problems. It may involve new medical conditions or existing conditions that have worsened. Care is often provided by a multidisciplinary team. Cases involving the acute care of older people can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to assessment, diagnosis, clinical management, frailty, decision-making, causation and subsequent outcomes. Our elderly care expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records and other relevant evidence. They can provide an opinion on matters within their specialist area of expertise.
